well im sure a few of us have a tattoo or 5

post up your tattoo

what it means. the story behind it

where you got it done

and the price

and some regret stories...!!

heres mine

it says well in the simplest form it says "Impulsive" in sinhalese (sri lankan)

although us lankans arnt good at sports, dont really have any cool traditional style

have the worst accents, i reckon the writing is awesome lol

anyways

it says impulsive, because well thats me down to a T

how i went about getting it

after watching 2 whole seasons in a row of "miami ink" i thought about getting one

the next day, i wasked my old lady to write out impulsive...

saturday the 16th of feb.. at 3 pm i had to drop of a friend in melton... to some karate thing, right next door was a tattoo shop.. walked in there... told the guy what it was all about... there was a girl who had a booking at 3 to get a tattoo completed... she over heard the story they both decided to go with the theme of things i should get it right then and there.. the chick said she didnt mind waiting

so 20 mins and 35 dollars later... here i am

with my new INK! which i cannot stop looking at

sorry to hijack your post but i have a question. i want to get a tattoo that says "impavido" which means fearless in italian. i want to get it down the left side of my ribs. the problem is on the left side if the tattoo run from top to bottom the letters face in what i think is the wrong way. (the dots on the i's face my back rather than my stomach), does any one have an opinion or suggetsion on this. all i have come up with so far is to use a mirror effect but this makes it harder to read, also adds a bit of flare and originality i think

I have to agree that the Sinhalese looks good. I have a Lankan girlfriend and the writing that ive seen on different things she has looks very cool. Nice change from the "standard" japanese or chinese characters people get for tatoos. Nothing against the jap or chinese characters, but its a nice change.

a mate of mine got a tatoo up his forearm

its pretty big and long

it says davison in some cryptic text - only the tatooist did one of the letters upside down

so it reads danison

the v came out upside down

here is a pic of mine. was as impulsive, took 5hrs and 2 sessions. $280. woody at planet ink in epping did it for me.

reason: being italian and religious, i thought that something like this i wouldnt regret.

btw, 2nd tat on the way. once its done ill post

(Its on my right shoulder too.)

Nice..looks like some neat work.

Be careful that could grow into full sleeves before you know it :ermm: ....they can be addictive,

I have a griffin as a sleeve (shoulder to elbow), his wings go up over my shoulder...thats for my Welsh heritage(also a cover up of an earlier effort).

The other side I have a phoenix, it was done for my rebirth (symbolic) after some tragic events.

All up around 1k's worth and about 14hrs in the chair.

I'll get some pics tomorrow if I cbf.
